Florida man arrested for throwing smoke bomb at Mar-a-Lago in protest at lack of stimulus check
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/mar-a-lago-smoke-bomb-b1818166.htmlA Florida man, angry at not having yet received a stimulus check from the government, threw a smog bomb outside Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach residence of former President Donald Trump.
Paul Brantly Rawls faces multiple charges including one count of making, possessing, throwing or discharging any destructive device, one count of criminal mischief, and one count of disorderly conduct.
CBS12 reports that the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon, with the Secret Service and Palm Beach Police responding to a report of a smoking device in the middle of South Ocean Boulevard.
Two vehicles crashed while trying to avoid the smouldering object. There were no injuries from the collision.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office dispatched the bomb squad to look for any other devices.
Police said that the device was a 7.5-inch fused incendiary that produces white smoke, manufactured by Pyro U.
